RALEIGH Former Sen. John Edwards might have to move quickly to save his spot on the national stage.
With just two weeks before their national convention, a number of Democrats are saying Edwards needs to publicly address National Enquirer stories that have alleged he had an affair with a campaign worker and fathered her baby.
Democrats gather in Denver on Aug. 25 and Edwards, as the 2004 vice presidential nominee and a presidential candidate who won delegates this year, ordinarily would be locked in as a speaker.
Instead Democratic insiders say convention organizers will try to avoid the lingering questions if Edwards himself doesn't talk.
"He absolutely does have to (resolve it). If it's not true, he has to issue a stronger denial," said Gary Pearce, the Democratic strategist who ran Edwards' 1998 Senate race. "It's a very damaging thing. … The big media has tried to be responsible and handle this with kid gloves, but it's clearly getting ready to bust out. If it's not true, he's got to stand up and say, 'This is not true. That is not my child, and I'm going to take legal action against the people who are spreading these lies.' It's not enough to say, 'That's tabloid trash.'"
The national convention is intended to showcase party unity and rally Democrats around the party's nominee. Prime-time speakers generate enthusiasm for the candidate and the party's platform. Edwards is widely regarded as a rousing speaker, particularly on poverty, and still has as many as 19 delegates pledged to him, making him a logical choice for a high-profile role under normal circumstances.
Convention organizers said only that the schedule of speakers has not yet been announced.
Edwards' decision not to take questions about the alleged affair has allowed doubts to linger and political bloggers to speculate. The National Enquirer has reported he fathered a child with a former campaign worker and met with her in a Beverly Hills hotel last month. He made no response to the National Enquirer's posting Wednesday of what it said was a photo of Edwards and his illegitimate child.
Two weeks ago, after the National Enquirer ran the story about the hotel liaison, he dismissed a reporter's question in Houston and used the "tabloid trash" line.
A reporter for the Web site Politico reached Edwards on his cell phone right after the story ran, but he declined to discuss the charges, according to a source familiar with the conversation.
He brushed off an Observer reporter in Washington last week: "Can't do it now, I'm sorry."
His designated staffer for press contacts has not responded to e-mail requests for an interview.
No one answered a reporter who rang a buzzer at the gate of Edwards' Orange County home on Wednesday. Friends and former staffers refuse to comment now, though they helped Edwards last fall by dismissing the Enquirer story of a sexual relationship between Edwards and a campaign videographer when it initially broke.
"Sorry, cannot help you on this one," wrote Jennifer Palmieri, a former top Edwards aide, in an e-mail last week.
Origin of the claim
The Enquirer published a story in October, citing unnamed sources, claiming that Edwards was having an affair with a woman who had filmed a series of videos during his presidential campaign. The tabloid later reported she was pregnant. Two weeks ago, the tabloid posted a story online chronicling how Edwards had visited the woman, Rielle Hunter, and their child July 21 at a Beverly Hills hotel and that the paper's reporters confronted him afterward.
In October, the woman posted an online statement denying the first story. In December, a campaign worker for Edwards, Andrew Young, claimed paternity of the woman's then-unborn child.
Last week, though, the Observer obtained a copy of the child's birth certificate, which did not list the father. Hunter's lawyer would only say "a lot of women do that" and that it was a personal matter between Hunter and Young.
Precarious standing
Presidential candidates who lose in the primaries traditionally are invited to address their party's convention, and Politico reported last month that Edwards told others he was promised a prime-time speaking slot when he endorsed Sen. Barack Obama. If Edwards fails to clear up the story in short order, he risks party officials deciding not to have him speak or, if they do, creating a distraction from a week focused on Obama accepting the nomination.
"If there is not an explanation that's satisfactory, acceptable and meets high moral standards, the answer is 'no,' he would not be a prime candidate to make a major address to the convention," said Columbia's Don Fowler, a former Democratic National Committee chair.
Edwards' political currency, which is his value as a public speaker and advocate, declines each day the story goes unresolved, Fowler and other Democratic strategists said.
An appearance at the convention would only highlight the unresolved story, said Chris Lehane, a Democratic consultant and former aide to then-Vice President Al Gore. It's when the moment can drive the news media coverage.
"You want to address these issues long before you get to that point," Lehane said. "Otherwise people who haven't written about it before, now start writing about it."
McClatchy Newspapers reporters Lorenzo Perez and Lisa Zagaroli contributed to this story.

That would make sense. The more costly delta 1010, comes with a breakout
box where all the inputs are balanced line level inputs. My delta 66
allows setting them to -10 or +8 (I think) through SW. The LT has
unbalanced and mic. level. That is the use it is made for. I do not even
know what "line level" for the LT is, but from the connector type I would
think -10. Anyway, if the unit I am looking at on the ART web site is the
one you have, there is also an unbalanced output. I would first try
connecting that to one of the unbalanced inputs of your 1010lt. unbalanced
is not all so bad as you might think so long as your cable is short and
the environment is not too noisy. Remember that a lot of radio stations
sit right under their transmitter tower where noise is a lot harder to
deal with. Clean connecting surfaces do make a difference.

Maybe maybe not, it could be a transformer. The power filtering after that
could still be ok. The level difference would still be the first thing to
correct. Using a mic input for line levels is never a good idea. You are
adding an extra gain stage you just don't need with all problems that
gives. The hum may actually be coming from the 1010 in that case.
> Thanks for mentioning the usb pre Len. I don't see it mentioned when
I personally think the ART USBDualTubePre (yes they push all the words
together like that) is a great deal. It is USB 1.1 which means 16 bit
audio, but it also means it just works. It does mean being more careful
with input level to get the best out of it, but the tube
compression/limiting is quite helpful for that if used gently. I found it
has less noise than the cheaper ART "USB Dual Pre Project Series" and a
little more gain. But the USB Dual Pre Project Series is quite good too.
The USBDualTubePre does have a S/Pdif output at 24bit which I use with my
delta 66. It gives me a) two more mic preamps b) a different sound from
the mic preamps in my Mackie mixer. The downside is that it becomes the
master clock because it has no s/pdif or clock in. That and it's
16bit-ness kind of removes it from the "pro" side of things... but then
the delta series interface is mostly considered high end amateur anyway.
(even though almost any 16 bit sound card out preforms any of yester-years
pro tape machines.)
You can make good music with only a sound blaster as input... though the
SB Live! has sync problems. The Ensonq PCI is quite good though. Probably,
the HDA internal audio line input with a good external mic pre would do
well too.... though I have found internal audio IFs tend to have much
better output quality than input. Input is kind of hit and miss.
Use your ears. Start making music now with what you have. Everything you
learn now will help you when you upgrade. (Len wants yet another mic :)

Bikini is actually a two piece cloth one covers the breasts and other the groin region. The lower wear has many types and the exposure level of each vary. Some of the popular lower wear you may try are fishnet, micro, mini, brazilian crochet, teardrop, thongs, slingshot etc. The low waist varieties are the sexiest. Elastic slingshots are really popular in world famous beaches. Thong is a very sexy revealing variety, which many like to sport. Fishnet is literally like the real fishnet – gives a very sexy look by giving a mesh like appearance.
The bra wear can be small cup large cup, plus size, full figure, Rigby, godess, freya, Venus. The band size (representing the chest circumference excluding breasts) and the cup size(represents the volume of breasts).
There are varieties like push up varieties that push the breasts up and give a voluptuous look. Others like athletic bra hold it tight.
The sexiest bikini may be "a half open cup push up bra plus a micro fishnet sling with low lie."

Re:Next step - get rid of those silly bottles (292 comments)
I believe the phrase you're looking for is "ultra homogenized", not "ultra pasteurized".
Fun fact, pasteurizationactually actually doesn't require all that much heat - the standard "high temperature, short time" pasteurization heats the milk to 71.7 degrees C for 15-20 seconds. This results in 5-log reduction in microorganisms (99.999% kill rate).
Re:Well, what about we think a bit.... (277 comments)
No. But since fatality rate per 100,000 workers is an annual figure, not a career figure, it actually works in exactly the opposite direction as you probably would have assumed. The figure means that for every 100,000 ranchers, you can expect about 42 ranchers to die in work-related accidents every year, not just at some point in their entire careers. Working well beyond normal retirement would compound that risk further. Retiring earlier means less likelihood of dying in a work-related accident.
Although I imagine there's a pretty big difference between fresh new cops who get put on the streets and the older cops who have been there for a few decades and have seniority to get the less-dangerous desk jobs.

The purpose of teaching is that you learn, most importantly, how to learn. What you were learning was how to avoid learning (things that you deemed unimportant to remember). Both skills might have useful applications to your adult life, but you were doing yourself a disservice by short-circuiting the learning process.
Re:Not surprising (580 comments)
It was a fairly basic, conceptual-level question.
A graphic of the periodic table was displayed, with the elements Ar, Cl, He, N, and Zn highlighted. The text of the question asked which element would have chemical properties most similar to Ar. As long as you know that the table is arranged so that elements in vertical columns share similar chemical properties, you'll get it correct.

The comparison I made was between children of non-immigrants in California, and the rest of the US, some of which states have very low immigrant populations and still approximately a 60% fail rate. The highest states were only about 44% passing.
Comparing immigrant children to immigrant children is a completely different tactic and one of the links in TFA already did it, so if that tickles your fancy, it'll probably be more relevant to your interest than my comment was.
Re:Makes no sense (580 comments)
For example, they can blatantly lie about the party affiliation of a politician caught in a sex scandal
If you have never, ever read Firstname Lastname (Rep) and not mistakenly extended that abbreviation into "Republican" rather than Representative, you are some kind of superhuman, because I know I have to do a mental check every damn time I see it.
Re:Parenting accounts for a great deal of - (580 comments)
In California the percentage of children with one or more immigrant parent is 49%.
Supposing ALL of these children failed the exam, that STILL means that something like 60% on the children with non-immigrant parents failed the exam.
...which would put them about on par with the rest of the US, actually...
Re:National Science Tests (580 comments)
We have something of a stereotype where I live (major metro area) for that debate, and it's best illustrated by a couple people I grew up with. Both are doctors that are paid very well. We assume they're very good at what they do. But one doesn't understand why you can't swim under a continent, and the other still lives with her parents (she's 32 and has money).
I find it hard to believe that the first can't understand that you can't swim under a continent for the same reason you can't swim underwater from my swimming pool to the one next door. And there is nothing wrong with living with your parents. Having money doesn't mean you have to spend it. Some people can actually stand to be around their parents.
Re:As this seems to be the week of unpopular facts (580 comments)
Anyway, here's a few less-impressive but still revealing facts:
41% of public school students in California live in homes where the most frequently spoken language is not English. [1].doc
English fluency rate in the LA school district has risen from a mere 16% in 2001 to an unsatisfying 49% in 2005. [2]
Unfortunately, since we'll just have to wait for nature to take its own action toward that end, the best we can do is document his sockpuppeting faggotry and, in the meantime, troll the everloving shit out of him.

You don´t know much about Japanese literature if Kenzaburo Oe is not part of your favourite authors list.
Kenzaburo Oe is definitely one of the most famous Japanese writers, though his fame has not transcended borders so much as his colleague Haruki Murakami during the last years. Kenzaburo Oe, however, can boast of being one of the only two Japanese writers awarded with a Nobel Prize in Literature (1994) for creating "an imagined world, where life and myth condense to form a disconcerting picture of the human predicament today", besides the fact that one of the most important literary awards in Japan bears his name.
The career of this writer is marked by his personal life: World War II, the stories of Japanese tradition in his village told by his grandmother, two books of his childhood that will accompany him throughout his life (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and the Strange Adventures of Nils Holgersson) and finally his son Hikari's birth with a major malformation, hydrocephalus, that prevents him from leading a common life. These are the key factors that guide the creative process in his work, influenced, in a way, by the French authors he studied at the University.
To cut a long story short, permit me separate the Oe's work in two parts, one part in which his writings are about rural legends from his childhood and the other, marked by his diseased son's birth, when he began writing from the pain and the great desire of self-improvement dealing with contemporary society themes. His style, in both phases, is direct and concise but at the same time full of typical reflections of the humanist he actually is.
"A healing family", based on Oe´s life with his son Hikari (which means light). As a child, Hikari never cried and never dreamt, yet he came to compose music that expressed a core of sorrow. This is the story of Hikari, who has emerged as a successful composer, despite autism, epilepsy and near blindness. The story of Oe´s commitment.
About the myths of the village and its traditions, he wrote "Prize Stock", short story about the adventures of a child who lives in a boring village where nothing ever happens until one day an enemy plane crashed near the village. Also in this phase: "Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids", "The Silent Cry", the game of contemporaneity or letters for nostalgic years.
On the other side of his prose, in which the disability of his son sets the narrative, I would highlight his novel "A personal matter" where depicts, with shocking realism, the story of a father who had his plans frustrated by the birth of his child with a major mental illness that will cause him early death or, at best, a poor quality life doomed to suffering. The autobiographical overtones that fill all Kenzaburo Oe work are undoubtedly manifested in this novel. Also connected with the drama of his son, Kenzaburo Oe wrote: "Teach Us to Outgrow Our Madness", "The Flood invades my spirit" or "Rouse Up O Young Men of the New Age!".
Finally, we would like you to watch these "Conversations with History", conducted by UC Berkeley´s Harry Kreisler

Happy Birthday Parks Canada!
June 29, 2011 by Rex Vogel · Leave a Comment
The world may scratch its collective head when it comes to listing facts about Canada, but—at the very least—most know it's a lot bigger than the spot they call home.
The Netherlands can easily fit into Lake Huron—with ample room to splash around.
There's plenty to explore—Canada's cities are new, dynamic, and evolving—but it's the beauty of the massive forests, towering mountains, pristine lakes, and the land's sheer breadth that enthralls many visitors.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Parks Canada and Alan Latourelle, chief executive officer of the Parks Canada Agency, is inviting visitors from around the world—to enjoy the nation's 42 national parks, 167 national historic sites, including nine canals, and four national marine conservation areas that stretch from British Columbia on the West Coast to Newfoundland on the East.
"Canada! We have more square feet of awesomeness per person than any other nation on Earth," the beer commercial shouted over and over during last year's Vancouver Olympics Games, to a steady backdrop of national park scenes. And the locals all raised their glasses, for Canadians love their national parks.
Much of the development of Parks Canada has taken place during the past two decades, and the intent of the parks system has expanded to embrace more and more land in the name of conservation—not necessarily visitation.
Today, some of the parks are home to animals which have become very rare or endangered in most parts of their natural range. For example, Elk Island National Park in Alberta is home to a genetically pure herd of rare wood bison. In March 2011, 30 of these animals were shipped to Russia. And most of us know about the transfer of grey wolves from Jasper to Yellowstone National Park.
Parks Canada has have restored bison and the black-footed ferret, thought to be extinct, into Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan.
The largest park is the Wood Buffalo National Park that stretches across Alberta and the Northwest Territories. At 17,000 square miles, it's about the size of New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut, combined.
The smallest park is the 3.4-square-mile St. Lawrence Islands National Park in Ontario. The most visited park in Canada in 2010, not surprisingly, was Banff, with a whopping 3,132,086 visitors—and over 3 million cameras. On the other hand, Quttinirpaaq on Ellesmere Island had just two visitors. That's a lot of per-person space, as the park measures 14,585 square miles. And about a dozen visitors found their way to Tutktut Nogait National Park, which is about 105 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
As Parks Canada celebrates its centennial, it also faces challenges.
Eight out of 10 Canadians now live in urban centers, and a growing number have never visited a national park.
In the last 10 years, there has been a decline in attendance at the parks. In 2001, 22.4 million people visited the parks, compared with 20.7 million last year.
The agency has begun to address that decline with new advertising campaigns.
The organization has a lot planned to help celebrate the centennial including two days—July 1 and 16—that will offer free, one-day admission to all parks and historic sites.
A Famous Forts Weekend will be held from August 19 to 21 featuring festivities at many of the forts under the agency's umbrella. The weekend will feature music, dancing, food, and—of course—the signature 100-gun salute.
My Parks Pass, a Canada-wide program, will provide all Grade 8 students free access (for one year) to any national park, national historic site, or national marine conservation area administered by Parks Canada.
Considered an international leader, the agency is celebrating successes at the same time as it works to attract a new generation of Canadians.
Some citizenship ceremonies take place in national parks and historic sites to introduce new Canadians to them.
"How can we continue to have our places be meaningful and really have Canadians connect to them?" asks Campbell, "That's our biggest challenge."
Parks Canada is working on nine new parks. The goal is to represent Canada's 39 natural regions through the parks system; to capture a comprehensive representation of Canada's flora, fauna and geology.
Happy Birthday Parks Canada!

A high-ranking executive with the nation's largest non-profit Protestant health care organization has been appointed the new chief executive of Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa.
Todd Werner will begin serving as CEO on May 12 and will be in charge of both adult and pediatric patient care at Banner Desert and Banner Children's Hospital at Banner Desert. He has been with the Adventist Health System as CEO of Adventist Hinsdale Hospital in Hinsdale, Illinois, since 2003.
Last September Bruce Pearson announced his immediate resignation as CEO of Banner Desert and Banner Children's Hospital. He had been with Banner Health for 25 years. Rhonda Anderson has been serving as interim CEO. She also is administrator of the Children's Hospital and Banner Health's pediatric service line administrator for pediatrics.
Banner Desert, located at Dobson Road and Southern Avenue, is the largest hospital in the East Valley, with 549 private rooms, including 128 dedicated to children. It includes 1,200 physicians, and 3,500 nurses and support personnel. It serves 40,000 inpatients and 65,000 outpatients, and 90,000 emergency room visits annually.
A seven-story pediatric patient tower to house Banner Children's Hospital is scheduled to open in fall of 2009.
"The CEO of any one of the campuses has responsibility to make certain that the strategies for providing health care to their surrounding community as well as the daily operations are followed through and developed," Anderson said. "That has been the work that we've been doing on this campus. There's lots of change going on in terms of the building and new tower, and the backfill once the children move into the new hospital."
Since 1993, Werner has served in leadership positions in either health systems or consulting firms working for health systems.
"I'm looking forward to working and living in an area that's growing so rapidly," Werner said in a statement. "Most importantly, I'm looking forward to joining the great team that's already in place on the Banner Desert campus."
Werner couldn't be reached for further comment.
"He has impressive CEO experience at major medical centers and understands the need for a CEO to focus on physician and community relationships," said Susan Edwards, Banner Health Arizona region president. "We think he will be a tremendous asset in the ongoing emergence of the Banner Desert campus as a medical destination for the Valley and Arizona."
Adventist Health System includes 37 hospitals in 10 states with more than 6,300 beds, as well as 17 affiliated extended care centers with more than 2,200 beds. It serves nearly 4 million patients each year and has about 43,000 employees.

Jan. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Piaget is confident new timepieces including the $53,000 record-breaking Altiplano Skeleton 1200S will help lift sales this year amid concerns of a recession in Europe and slowing demand in Asia.
The Swiss watchmaker will introduce the new model, which features the world's thinnest automatic skeleton movement and watchcase, at next week's SIHH watch fair in Geneva, Chief Executive Officer Philippe Leopold-Metzger said in a phone interview yesterday. Also on show will be the Gouverneur range in white and rose gold, he said, declining to provide more details.
"Newness is something important in our business," said Leopold-Metzger. The executive, who has forecast revenue growth of more than 10 percent in the current fiscal year, wouldn't comment on sales in December ahead of a quarterly update by Piaget's owner Cie. Financiere Richemont SA on Jan. 16. "It's a good year and we are looking forward again to what will be a fairly good year in 2012," he said.
Watch and jewelry sales will continue to outperform other luxury goods in 2012, according to CA Cheuvreux analyst Thomas Mesmin. Sales at Richemont's specialist watch unit, which includes Piaget, will rise 14 percent on a like-for-like basis in the year ending March 2013, faster than the sector's overall growth, Mesmin estimates.
'Robust Chinese Demand'
A skeleton movement means the case has openings that reveal the inner workings of the watch.
Richemont's watchmaking brands "look set to continue to benefit from robust Chinese demand both from inside and outside greater China," Mesmin wrote last month.
While mainland Chinese customers continue to drive sales in Asia, Piaget's growth in the region may slow this year because of a high basis of comparison, Leopold-Metzger said. Korean sales are rising "very strongly" and Japan "is back on the growth trend," he said. Piaget gets more than half of revenue from Asian customers, the CEO said. The Middle East and the Americas are other "bright spots," he said.
Piaget plans to add about 10 to 15 boutiques a year to its current total of 79, according to the CEO. The 138-year-old company expects to hire more staff in stores and manufacturing, he said, declining to say how much. "Like every other brand, we would have sold more if we had bigger production," he said.
Demand has been "pretty steady" across the range, while ultra-slim watches, in particular the Altiplano line, which starts at 18,800 francs ($19,780), are performing "very well," Leopold-Metzger said.
After the Swiss franc appreciated against the euro in 2011, "we are looking more at the situation being steady" in 2012, he said. "We don't expect any major disturbances on that side." Still, Piaget, which makes its timepieces in Switzerland, may lift prices, the executive said.

"Wow! Get this one!"
It took me a while to get through this book. It was so good that I could do nothing else but listen! No driving, no knitting, no nothin'! As soon as I was fininshed, I started it again. The narrator is very talented. Each character gets a very unique voice. Very richly developed plot and characters. I really felt for them...and was on the edge of my seat. Twisting and turning right along with them.
"Do not get this book--or see him live"
The reviewers that have compared Daisy to Garrison Keillor, Spalding Gray, and David Sedaris need to be taken out back with a sharp switch until they get their senses back.
Daisy is so far removed from reality that he actually believes he can read his diary to a crowd of people and make them laugh or touch them in some way. He does not succeed. He is not smart, not witty and not entertaining.
Get any of the David Sedaris performances to see what real storytelling is like.

scroll bar existance in IE5+
I have a universal page footer defined in a DIV.
The very last line in my web pages sets the value of the DIV to be absolute or relative.
When multiple rows are returned from a database the contents of the columns could dynamically make the row height change due to word wrapping in any given column.
In the past we tediously tried to count rows and if the rows were less than a given number plus a fudge factor, we would set the DIV to relative or absolute (where absolute would position the DIV at the bottom of the webpage)... with no browser/webpage scroll bar active.
The web pages do not make use of frames.
I feel if I can question if the scroll bar exists or is active in the browser/webpage I could determine without counting rows and with out fudging the height of the rows when to declare the footer DIV to be absolute or relative.

@The Stegman said:
as for Kenbunshoku, it has a hard time predicting random, erratic attacks, that's exactly what the Fox shroud is, as Sasuke stated, it attacks on its own, making even Sasuke, with a fully developed sharingan have trouble following it.You cannot compare the two! Kenbunshoku has nothing to do with Sharingan.
Sharingan works by mathematics principles, calculating the most plausible follow up movement by reading prior movements so obviously you will have the burden of focusing during battle while doing all that math in your head not to mention straining your eyes all the while. Kenbunshoku deletes the "problem workout" part; It just gives you the end result without having to work out the process alleviating significant burden on the wielder unlike the sharingan so they're not really that comparable.
I wouldn't say Naruto could defeat Luffy by "ease" on any account. Luffy's shown himself to be more than a match to Naruto when he dodged the Pacifistas's beam with no difficulty what so ever, or at least he made it look that way.
I'm not going to compare speeds here because there is no way to compare speeds but I'm sure Naruto is not much faster than Luffy. In fact Luffy may be faster than Naruto given his ability to use Soru like effects even pre time skip.
Luffy also has his haki abilities which would let him read his opponent's attacks and create highly impermeable defences. He could also use the king's haki but I'm sure Naruto would have enough will to resist that.
Overall I still give this fight to Luffy though, but it could go either way because Naruto is definitely able to keep up with Luffy and we haven't seen the full extent of his bijuu powers.
I don't smoke and I never will smoke. But if other people want to smoke then that's their problem.
Well I just always assumed it would be that way to make the battle as fair as possible. And it's true he barely uses genjutsu, but as you said, he used it on Sakura, but used it on Zabuza as well (although a much lesser form) when they first fought. To confuse him and get the upper hand.@The Stegman said:
You may be correct on the sharingan part, I do know that the body often fails to keep up even if the sharingan can but regardless i've seen Kakashi often outwit faster opponents with his jutsu. When facing Itachi for the first time, who was faster than him, he tricked him using water clones (which he did in fact create pretty quickly) he's also been shown using shadow clones and substitution in battle rather easily, while his true form hides studying the person's movements. As for the genjutsu won't work argument, I find that to be flawed, this is a crossover battle, which I usually take as meaning, all attacks that both fighters have will work on the other, in this case it means haki would equal chakra since neither exist in the other universe, it's like when people say "Goku won't see Ichigo because Goku doesn't have reiatsu" it's an weak argument. Anyway, what I think the main winning factor for Kakashi is, would be his intellect, he we use every trick he knows to disorient Zorro seeing he has superior speed, like hidden mist jutsu to blind him, shadow clones to confuse him, and kamui to finish him while he is distracted.Usually things like chakra=haki would be specified in the OP when a match is made otherwise it will be disreagarded. Even if verse equalization was on, kakashi barely uses genjustsu anyway. In fact, the only time i tink ive seen him use it was on sakura in the first volume. And while i totally agree that kakashis intelect is definitely his greatest asset here, Zoro is also an intelligent combatant who has invented countless sword techniques and has adapted to the situation time and time again in order to pull off a win
@The Stegman said:
@Destinyheroknight: I thought it would be an interesting battle, and Zorro does have the speed advantage, but I think Kakashi's sharingan can keep up with it, that coupled with tricks like genjutsu, substitution and shadow clones could allow Kakashi to keep him distracted enough to win.
The sharingan may be able to keep up with zoro, but kakashi doing the same is a whole different matter. It has been proven that even if a sharingan can keep up with thier opponents movements, the user wont neccisarily be able to do the same which is what i think would likely happen here, because lets face it, zoro is just plain faster than kakashi. Genjutsu wouldnt technically work either due to it affecting the chakra network in order to create illusions and zoro does not have a chakra network to manipulate due to the fact that only characters from the narutoverse have such things. The clone idea may work, however kakashi would need a little time to create a clone, however, it is unlikely that he will have that luxury considering zoros far superior speed
@Destinyheroknight: I thought it would be an interesting battle, and Zorro does have the speed advantage, but I think Kakashi's sharingan can keep up with it, that coupled with tricks like genjutsu, substitution and shadow clones could allow Kakashi to keep him distracted enough to win.
@JonSmith: second round in the arena, such as when Neji fought Naruto, and Sasuke fought Gaara, sorry for the confusion.
-Both combatants at PRE TIME SKIP levels
-Both Neji and Sasuke at Chunin Exams round two level (no curse seal for Sasuke)
-Fight takes place in Chunin Exam arena
-Fight to k.o or death
-No morals
who wins??
Naruto. The only real threats Ben has in his arsenal is Way Big and Big Chill, the rest get easily defeat by a sage mode or Chakra Cloaked Naruto, I'm not even gonna include Alien X as it seems to just stand there whenever it's summoned.
Perhaps one Day the Orange Ninja shall catch up...but for now...even lower tier DBZ characters will annihilate him.
Personally, I'm a Deist, it makes the most sense to me
Unless Sasuke traps him in an endless Genjutsu, I don't see how he can put Kimmimaru down, the guy beat Lee, Naruto, and gaara back to back

.- Canada's draft legislation on same-sex marriage passed second reading in Parliament Wednesday because Prime Minister Paul Martin's Liberal Party and the New Democratic Party do not recognize the significance of freedom of conscience and religion, said the president of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB). The NDP members of Parliament, as well as Liberal MPs who are parliamentary secretaries and Cabinet ministers, were obliged to vote on Bill C-38 according to party lines, noted Archbishop Brendan O'Brien.
"The failure of political parties to respect freedom of conscience and religion is an ominous sign for the future," the archbishop remarked.
In a written statement, the CCCB expressed its concern and disappointment that Bill C-38 passed second reading. The bill will now go to a special legislative committee before returning to the House of Commons for third and final reading. The bishops have urged the committee to hold public hearings across the country.
The CCCB has repeatedly called for the federal government to respect the definition of marriage as the committed and exclusive relationship of a man and a woman.
Failing that, the bishops have said the law must ensure that civil and religious officials can opt out of performing marriages that are not in line with their conscience and religious beliefs.
The law must protect the charitable status of religious organizations not in agreement with Bill C-38 and protect their right to refuse renting their buildings for wedding celebrations contrary to their faith, the bishops said.
The law must also protect the rights of all Canadians, including religious leaders, parents and teachers, to speak about sexual morality in light of their own conscience and faith.

Video: Should a ten year old be cited for reckless driving for crashing car through Parker DMV?
On Monday, a ten-year-old Parker girl did what plenty of adults have probably fantasized about doing before thinking better of it: She crashed a sports-utility vehicle into a DMV.Big photos, videos below.
The story made local newscasts. But now it's gone national thanks to the Parker Police Department's decision to release surveillance footage from inside the office, which vividly shows how close several people came to being killed. See videos, photos and details below.
The incident took place at the DMV office at 17924 Cottonwood Drive. According to Parker police, two juveniles -- ages ten and twelve, 9News reports -- were left inside the family SUV while their mother entered the office to "conduct her business."
The keys remained in the car, too, and police believe the younger of the girls slipped the car into gear and rolled it into the office.
Parker cops note that no injuries were sustained and the DMV office suffered no major structural damage -- surprising given the destruction seen in the slew of photos issued by the department, including this one:
Still, this images and the others shared below didn't stir the larger media's imagination quite like the surveillance footage. Get ready to be startled:Courtesy of the Parker Police Department
Just as shocking for some is the decision by authorities to formally accuse the girl of reckless driving. Frankly, any driving by a ten year old could be considered reckless, given that she's much too young to pilot a vehicle legally -- and she wouldn't have even had the opportunity to crash into the public consciousness if she and her sister weren't left in an SUV with easy access to the keys.
Will the charge stick? Hard to say at this point -- but when the girl reaches the age at which she can obtain a driver's license, we recommend she go to a different DMV. We have a feeling the staff at the one in Parker might remember her.
Look below to see more Parker Police Department photos from the scene, followed by a 9News clip in which attorney Scott Robinson questions the decision to charge the girl.

Mighty caribou herds dwindle, warming blamed
Many caribou herds have lost more than half their number from the maximums of recent decades.
Rick Bowmer/AP
ON THE PORCUPINE RIVER TUNDRA, Yukon Territory
Here on the endlessly rolling and tussocky terrain of northwest Canada, where man has hunted caribou since the Stone Age, the vast antlered herds are fast growing thin.
And it's not just here. Across the tundra 1,000 miles to the east, Canada's Beverly herd, numbering more than 200,000 a decade ago, can barely be found today.
Halfway around the world in Siberia, the biggest aggregation of these migratory animals, of the dun-colored herds whose sweep across the Arctic's white canvas is one of nature's matchless wonders, has shrunk by hundreds of thousands in a few short years.
From wildlife spectacle to wildlife mystery, the decline of the caribou — called reindeer in the Eurasian Arctic — has biologists searching for clues, and finding them.
They believe that the insidious impact of climate change, its tipping of natural balances and disruption of feeding habits, is decimating a species that has long numbered in the millions, and supported human life in Earth's most inhuman climate.
Many herds have lost more than half their number from the maximums of recent decades, a global survey finds. They "hover on the precipice of a major decline," it says.
The "People of the Caribou," the native Gwich'in of the Yukon and Alaska, were among the first to sense trouble, in the late 1990s, as their Porcupine herd dwindled. From 178,000 in 1989, the herd — named for the river crossing its range — is now estimated to number 100,000.

what means by ring counter of a polygon.. and what means by ring counter = 1 of a polygon? any one can tell me by drawing an example..
closed as off topic by Andres Caicedo, Arturo Magidin, Aryabhata, Ross Millikan, Qiaochu Yuan Jan 4 '11 at 17:35Questions on Mathematics Stack Exchange are expected to relate to math within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question. |
I think you will find of interest the comments on "rings" and other pseudo-geometric objects constituting the nonrigorous geometrical foundations of various spatial reasoning systems: Polygons: the unstable foundation of spatial modeling. For basic background on the 9-intersection model see: Egenhofer, M. and Herring, J. Categorizing binary topological relationships between regions, lines and points in geographic databases. |
Given your link, and also this page, it seems that "ring" refers to the boundaries of a plane polygon, which are homeomorphic to circles. "Outside ring" and "inside rings" refer to the outside boundary and to any boundaries surrounding holes on the inside of the polygon (making it homeomorphic to punctured discs). The page does not contain any instance of "counter", but presumably it refers to a "counter" in the sense of computer science: an inner count of how many 'rings' are being specified for the polygon ($n+1$, where $n$ is the number of "holes"). Your question seems to me to be off-topic. |

Appropriate Business Cards
There are a few things which would reflect your personality. Your appearance, the way you dress, the way you speak, the way you hold yourself, the way you shake hands or organize things. Similarly, of you want to network, your business cards are quite a way of communicating with the other persons. It is a channel to market yourself. The details you provide in your business cards speak a thousand words more. Moreover the presentation should be good. If you are an artist or related to any creative company, your card should be creative enough. If you are in a bank or something, it should look professional. In any case, it should not be cluttered. Usually companies follow templates. For entrepreneurs, there are websites for designing your own templates. It feels good if people respond in a positive manner after getting your business cards. You could have experienced that people get your business cards and many times to be thrown in a bin. There should be something special in your visiting cards which would make the people take a second look and decide against throwing it.

Make me laugh!
I'm sarcastic, loyal and easy going. I value my family and friends and enjoy spending time with them exploring new restaurants and bars or just kicking back and catching up over coffee. I live right outside New York City so I take advantage of it as much as possible, which includes anything from catching a game at Yankee stadium to checking out the latest exhibit at the MOMA. I'm open and outgoing so you can guarantee there won't be a lull in the conversation. I'm looking for a guy with a great sense of humor, that doesn't take life too seriously. Someone who knows the value of family and friends and respects others. At the end of the day I'm just looking for someone who can be my friend, partner and bring out the best in each other.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting

I would love to tour europe and take in the sights and culture. Locally you can usually find me at a bar catching a friends band or enjoying a night out in NYC.
Huge Yankee fan and love going to games any chance I get! I enjoy a cheesy horror movie or sappy romance novel on occasion and have an obsession with Mexican food.
Love checking out new bands,movies or grabbing dinner. I also enjoy nights at home relaxing and unwinding from a busy week.

Made a mess
Ok so I made a mess of the coding so far here is what it looks like http://www.casino-spot.com (temporary domain dont worry no spam or anything) and here is what it should look like http://picprize.com/upload/proxy.jpg
Havn't done css coding in a little while its probably something stupid but it would be great if someone could set me straight.
Also DW sucks when rendering css is there any programs similiar to DW that is easy to learn that renders programs correctly.

Get rid of float:left; on the #container and #header. As to dreamweaver not being accurate. I don't know how many times I've said this. Here I go saying it again. Dreamweaver IS NOT a browser, don't rely on it to be accurate. It can only do so much. Code for a good browser like Firefox and tweak for IE.

Can someone help me identify the insect in the attached picture? I have a mature Chokecherry that appears healthy but has 1000's of very small white insects on the bark. They are literally everywhere on the lower half of the tree bark. I have Volck oil but have not treated yet because I would like to know what they are? Any ideas? |

other than walking on mature bark.. what if any impact is there on the tree???? i cant really focus on them ... nor would i have any idea how to take a pic of such ... you might want to try the bug experts in the garden clinic forum ... any chance if you can tell if they are coming out of the soil ... ken |
Hi Ken, They start at the very bottom of the tree and are moving up so they could have come from the ground. There is no apparent damage yet but this is a favorite tree for us and birds and bees so I want to make sure I know if treatment is needed. |
hard to tell from the photo, possibly "white peach scale" or "white prunicola scale" |
Here is a link that might be useful: prunicola scale
Hi arbordave, Thanks for the link. I read it all and it might be some kind of scale. The only thing I notice is the 1000's of very small pencil shaped insects. It looks like the treatment is oil so this may be my course of action. If it is scale I have yet to find any females. |

Trust eye place on Norwich board
The Norwich City Supporters Trust is hoping to secure a supporters' place on the club's board of directors. Two-thirds of City's season ticket holders chose to claim their rebate following the club's relegation. Trust chairman Paul Bond told the NCST website: "We have a scheme which would allow the club to regain team building income and strengthen the fans' input." Bond believes the £700,000 that has gone back to fans could be used to ensure they have a voice on the board. The cl.... read more

April 28, 2014How to Choose the Best Washer for Your Needs?
An amazing variety in the market makes choosing a washer a big challenge. But, conducting a small research, and trying to follow your requirements and budget makes the task of buying your new best washer much easier. We'll take you through everything that is important in choosing the best washer for your needs, and review all the key specifications you should consider beforehand.
3 Basic Things You Must Know in Order to Choose the Best Washer for Your Needs
- High efficiency washers become more and more popular nowadays, and they are usually worth the price. They use 20-50% less water than the traditional washers with agitator, which means long-term savings and environmental benefits. BUT, keep in mind that being "green" is an end-to-end process. One can't be green by purchasing products that have to be replaced at short intervals. There is a massive cost to the environment in this aspect as well.
- Your new best washer must have a stainless steel tub. This way it won't rust, stain or scratch, and it will last a lot longer than any other drum.
- Front load or top load? This is an ongoing-endless debate. For many years, top loading washers were the standard in the U.S, while for the rest of the world, front loaders were the standard. The bottom line is that both have advantages and disadvantages, so you'll have to choose according to your needs. You can read our popular post on this here.
4 Simple Tips for Choosing Your Best Washer
The main points for consideration when choosing a new washer include size, capacity, controls, energy efficiency, and, of course, budget. Ask yourself:
- What are your needs? Do you wash large or small quantities of laundry? Do you have an athlete or a baby at home?
- What are the size limitations? Do you have enough room for a big washer? Do you need a portable one that you can put away when it's not in use? Can your place only fit a top load or a front load? It is crucial to measure the space where the machine will be housed.
- What is your budget? How much you are willing and able to spend? Average prices of washers range from $500 to $1,500. Lower budget usually means you'll have to sacrifice some features. It's important to also consider the costs of using the machine, and not only the initial price tag. In some cases, it might be smarter to choose a more expensive model if it means saving on energy usage, on possible repair costs, and longer life expectancy.
- Technology: Probably a lot has changed in the washers market since the last time you bought one. You should learn about the new technology in use, and how you can use it to get the most out of your machine, your money, and your time. For example, the US government-issued Energy Star ratings make it easy to understand whether a particular model is energy efficient.
What's On the Market?
- Top-loading washers. Check out our best top load washers reviews.
- Front-loading washers. Check out our best front load washers reviews.
- Compact and portable washers: These washers have small capacities and are designed for those who have extreme space limitations. They don't feature a wide range of options, but they will clean your clothes without taking up much space in your home. Check out our best portable washers reviews.
- Washer and dryer combination and set: A combo is an all-in-one machine that washes and then dries. It's convenient and takes up half of the space, but the good models are quite expensive and NOT energy efficient. The stackable set is a better option. Check out our best washer and dryer reviews and decide what fits you the best.
4 Typical Washer Capacities
- Compact: 1.7 to 2.3 cubic feet
- Medium: 2.1 to 2.5 cubic feet
- Large: 2.7 to 3 cubic feet
- Extra-large: 3.1 or more cubic feet
5 Features to Look for When Choosing a New Washer
- Delay-start: Allows you, for example, to turn on the washer when utility rates are lower.
- Automatic water level control: Selects the right amount of water for each load.
- Internal water heater: Reduces demand on your home water heater, and usually also improves cleaning performance.
- Stainless-steel washtubs: They don't chip or rust as enamelled steel can, and their smooth interior surfaces are easier on clothes.
- Selectable spin speeds of 700 to 1,600: This means that clothes can be almost dry when they leave the washer.

I Thought My Father Was God: And Other True Tales from NPR's National Story Project (Paperback)
The true-life stories in this unique collection provide "a window into the American mind and heart" ("The Daily News"). One hundred and eighty voices - male and female, young and old, from all walks of life and all over the country - talk intimately to the reader. Combining great humor and pathos this remarkable selection of stories from the thousands submitted to NPR's "Weekend All Things Considered" National Story Project gives the reader a glimpse of America's soul in all its diversity.
About the Author
Paul Auster is the bestselling author of Oracle Night, The Book of Illusions, and Timbuktu. I Thought My Father Was God, the NPR National Story Project anthology, which he edited, was also a national bestseller. His work has been translated into thirty languages. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Nelly Reifler has published stories in magazines such as "Bomb, Black Book, Post Road, Exquisite Corpse, " and "The Florida Review, " as well as the anthologies "110 Stories: New York Writes After September 11" and "Lost Tribe: Jewish Fiction from the Edge." A Rotunda Gallery grant recipient and MacDowell Fellow, she received the Henfield Prize for two of the stories in this collection. Her plays have been performed in the United States and Australia, and she currently teaches at Sarah Lawrence College. She lives in Brooklyn.
Praise For…
"A powerful book, one in which strangers share with you their darkest secrets, their happiest memories, their fears, their regrets. To read these essays is to look into hearts, to see life from other viewpoints, to live vicariously." —The Boston Globe
"Unforgettable testimonials of human resilience. Moving and amusing dispatches from across America." —Us Weekly (starred review)
"Human foibles and frailties, laughter and tears...We are all hearing—and telling—stories all the time, especially now, in these days when life itself seems so fragile and precious. But Paul Auster's wonderful efforts, choosing these fine stories, have given us a timely and invaluable reminder of what it means to listen—to really listen—to America talking." —The Times-Picayune (New Orleans)
"Finally, a bathroom book worthy of Pulitzer consideration: the one-to-three-page stories gathered in this astonishing, addictive collection are absolute gems." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"It is difficult to think of another book published this year, and probably any book to be published next year, that is so simple and so obvious, so excellent in intention and so elegant in its execution, and which displays such wisdom and such knowledge of human life in all its varieties. It is also difficult to think of a book that is so stark a reminder that human experience can be horrid and utterly unbelievable, and which therefore answers so precisely to our current needs and circumstances."—The Guardian (UK)
"As this collection ably proves, we all shape experience into stories, and Auster has done a storyteller's job himself of grouping these pieces effectively. Highly recommended." —Library Journal (starred review)
"Like no other book I have read in years, this one restored my belief in Americans and the American experience." —Philip Levine, Ploughshares

Power punches Cotto's key vs Mayweather
May, 2, 2012
By Andrew Davis | ESPN.com
Getty ImagesFloyd Mayweather Jr. (left) and Miguel Cotto square off for Cotto's WBA Junior Middleweight title on Saturday in Las Vegas.
His opponent, Miguel Cotto, is on a three-fight win streak, and holds the WBA Junior Middleweight title. The fight is a matchup between two of ESPN.com's Top 10 Pound-for-Pound fighters in the world (Mayweather 1st, Cotto 10th) and is for Cotto's 154-pound title.
Mayweather will go up in weight from 147 pounds to 154 for the second time in his career. The first was five years ago, when he defeated Oscar De La Hoya by split decision. In that fight, Mayweather established the jab to set up his power punches. Mayweather landed 69 jabs against De La Hoya, and in his last three fights has landed an average of 10 per round (282 over 28 rounds).
If Mayweather can't get the jab going, Cotto should expect to see plenty of power punches. In his last fight against Victor Ortiz, Mayweather landed 14 percent of his jabs (12 of 83), but connected on 49 percent of his power punches (61 of 125). Combined with his two prior fights, Mayweather landed 51 percent of power punches compared to 21 percent for his opponents.
It comes down to simple science for Mayweather to get to 43-0: hit Cotto and don't get hit -- and there's no one more elusive than Mayweather.
But don't expect this to be a runaway victory for Mayweather, especially with Cotto's track record. Cotto will most likely throw more punches than Mayweather in this fight. In his last fight against Antonio Margarito, Cotto averaged 55 punches per round. In his last loss to Manny Pacquiao, he averaged almost 50.
There is no secret that Cotto's go-to punch is the left hook. If he can find the mark accurately and consistently against Mayweather, this fight will be interesting. Against Margarito, Cotto landed 148 power punches of 210 total punches landed (70 percent). Against Yuri Foreman, Cotto landed 37 of 76 power punches in the final three rounds after Foreman's knee gave out, including the final left hook.
In Mayweather's previous fight, Ortiz bullied him into the corner with power shots, forcing Mayweather to retreat. If the bigger Cotto can do the same thing, he can finish the undefeated Mayweather with the left hook.
Saturday night may mark the biggest boxing event of the year, and it will see either Mayweather win his last fight before starting his jail sentence or Cotto provide his Puerto Rican faithful a stunning victory on Mayweather's turf.

Given the rapid increase in internet technology and the ease with which the world can be reached through this medium has revolutionized business practices around the world and has influenced all aspects of the global economy.

Featuring a full 1 amp of output, RECOMs new R-78E-1.0 switching regulator module expands the power range of the low cost/high efficiency R-78E series – a new series of switching regulators designed to offer all the advantages of a standard switching regulator (high efficiency, wide input range, accurate output voltage regulation) but at a lower cost.[more]

As Dan just showed you, President Barack Obama is officially our president for four more years. And Joe Biden is our beloved crazy uncle vice-president:
But of course an inauguration can never be that simple. The big ceremonial inauguration, with all the pomp and circumstance, will take place tomorrow (albeit with 17% less pomp than the 2008 inauguration) at 8:30 AM Seattle time. If you're looking to watch it with a bunch of people, we Suggest you go to Town Hall, which is hosting a viewing party. Other venues including The Northwest African American Museum and Cafe Presse are hosting parties, too.
And we'll be live-Slogging the whole inauguration here on Slog and on our Twitter feed. We'll see you then. Bring pomp! I hear we'll need extra pomp.
...The president is taking the oath twice this time because technically, Inauguration Day falls on Sunday, Jan. 20, and the modern tradition has been that when that happens, the president takes a private oath on Sunday and does it again in public for the big ceremonial event on Monday.More here.
It wasn't always like that. The first two presidents whose inauguration days fell on a Sunday waited until Monday to take the oath. The legal authority for doing that was none other than the founding father and great Chief Justice John Marshall...

Brewing and shooting an episode for BrewingTV....Not sure what episode but we're brewing up a Burton Ale.
Awesome, will there be any good tips on making a authentic burton region beer? I love doing bitters with a burton water profile. I can't wait to see that episode.
who exactly is shooting the episode for brewing tv, is it a club brew or just some kind of guest brew? I'm a brewing tv fanatic, lol, trying to get the low down scoop here.
Trust me it's the real deal. Might not release until August but it's the real thang. We did not adjust water because I could not get a recent water report from the city. Wait until you see the amount of hops that went into this batch. I have to go sit down now while I'm waiting on the boil to finish!!!
I've wanted to brew a Burton Ale since I read the recent Zymurgy article on it. Care to share the recipe?
Awesome! When are you filming it? Those guys seem very cool!
Sweetcel: "try this, it was dry-hopped with a lot of climax."
